Congratulations ! I am pretty sure I speak for every Standoff team member when I say that we're very happy (and relieved !) to see the day when we stop making fun of you guys ;) From the trailer your game looks fantastic (did I see hints of an atmospheric mission ?) , but the absolute best...

Might be a bug of my patcher then. I'll check my code later tonight, thanks for the lead !

Hummm... could be a file corruption. I have not stated it clearly but the launcher patches DATA.TRE with every occurence of a file found in MAT\. Obviously this shouldn't be the case here because the mesh is in MESH\, but that's the only tempering I do to DATA.TRE. You could try re-patching...

We can't bring graphics on par with Standoff unless we remake the models and textures. What we can do is to bring it on par with the WCP/SO version of the OpenGL.

Hehe, don't assume Standoff's radar work like the other vision games... I've tweeked it quite a bit :) I am somehow happy you didn't notice though, that means my tweeks were seemless and feel natural.

Hi. You've got a few questions in your post, I'll try to cover it all with few words: First, the patch might be big for a dialup connection, but not THAT big. It's about 23 Mb if you're running 1.29 or later, 25 Mb if you installed and not updated the Ep5 package from the website. It's about 1h...

The current OpenGL for WCP/SO will work with UE just fine provided you make sure the launcher's options are set to 640x480. It'll be less pretty than WCP/SO or Standoff's implementations though because it'll use the low-res 640x480 UE backgrounds and none of the updated art (apart from the...

What ? No wingnut is up to the challenge ? I am sure many wingnuts have the talent and equipement to render their own arrangements of WC tunes, and it'd be really neat to hear more !

I too have listened to the piece a few times, and I have mixed feelings about it. First and foremost, this is the closest thing to a modern arrangement/rendering of the original tunes I have ever heard, and it is entertaining, so that's great ! Then there are flaws. The overuse of choirs have...

You can also get Wing Commander 4.123106 in eBook format ! I actually enjoyed that one just as much as the real novels.

Glad you noticed :p Tell me if we broke anything.

Hi. The reason is that compatibility for ATI card was greatly enhanced in the lastest OpenGL version, but we released the WCP/SO version first. A Standoff version is currently being tested and should be available through autoupdate shortly.

... and Angel ? And Paladin ? And Maniac ? And Thrakath ? ;) Hobbes and Tolwyn are not the only reappearing characters !

Yes, it was removed when we released episode 4, IIRC. About your video card driver, it's fine; a 6200 wouldn't be better supported by the newer drivers.

Yeah, the main problem with GoG's release is they have the games install in the Program Files folder by default. Vista and Win7 UAC (User Access Control) protect those folders from being modified. Having the default install in something like "C:\GAMES\GoG\" or something like that would have...

Great ! What are your system specs, BTW ? If you have an nVidia card, getting the lastest drivers might help, too.

Same I suggested. Disable HDR (bloom), reduce both antialiasing options.

Now that I think of it, IIRC I had to reset the preferences is one of the update I pushed via the automatic updates. Sorry about that.

The parameters that most like will slow down your game are the HDR (bloom) effect and the antialiasing. Try disabling HDR and/or reducing the antialiasing factor. The score-submitting option should not change anything to the way the game is rendered.

make sure you have the lastest Standoff version installed. If the version is too old, scores will be discarded on the server. You can use the autoupdate feature to keep uptodate. start the Standoff launcher, and check the scoreboard option at the bottom of the options menu. Type your forums...
